Steel bars are put in the formwork ahead of time in reinforced concrete. Vibrations eliminate air pockets while properly spreading the components when concrete is poured over the formwork.
Prestressed concrete is created under tension, whereas reinforced concrete is made at rest. Steel bars are stretched at both ends when they are stretched determines the type of prestressed concrete. This increases the tensile strength of the finished product, making it a popular choice for large-scale projects like highway overpasses and commercial structures.
